I’m surprised to see I’m the first one who makes the review for this album (from what I’ve searched). As a side note this is my first review here. :)

Another Level by Blackstreet

Sledding With Tigers - The Hill Sheep (Album)
The Hill Sheep is the second album released by Sledding With Tigers. Although I will say that some of the tracks on this album felt similar to some of the songs that were present on the band’s debut release, No Randy No, I can thankfully say that this album …

Led Zeppelin: I
I have to say, this is my favorite debut album from any band I’ve ever listened to. Led Zeppelin’s self titled debut album really cements the band as the premier hard rock band of the time.
